Breaking Through the Silence

I would like to thank foremost God for all that I am. I would also like to thank my children Skaya, Aaron and Breanna; it is because of you my world's brighter. I would like to say thanks to my mom who taught me how to be a woman of substance, and go after my dream whatever it might be. Thanks, to Ralph and Nel who added to my life by being such a great influence in it; you both added more than you would ever know. Thanks to my siblings who have helped me along my journey in finding my way in this great big world, and it has been with their great support that I learned to flourish beyond my wildest dream.

And last all but not least; I would like to thank my Speech Class Instructor Mrs. Oh's, and if it was not for her there would be no book "Breaking Through the Silence." It was Mrs. Oh's who helped me to break free from my extreme shyness in 2006.
